Stampin’ Up! Sweet Jar for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday afternoon stamping friends. How was everyone’s week? I hope you are starting to make plans for the weekend. I’m a little late today, I got involved cleaning and reorganizing my card studio and had to get everything back in place before I could even think about making a card.

I played with a new bundle coming in May with the other Online Exclusives, along with some DSP I believe will be retiring in April. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Sweet Jar Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Online Exclusive Sweet Jar Bundle (available May 6) along with the Countryside Inn Designer Series Paper and Country Woods Designer Series Paper for my card today.

My design is from Sunday Stamps Challenge #356.

*********************************************************************************************************

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater.  And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value.

But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:

  1. You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly!  OR….
  2. If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.

Stampin’ Up! Sentimental Wishes Joy Fold

Good Monday morning stamping friends and welcome to a new week. How was everyone’s weekend? It was a gorgeous one here in NJ. We had our quarterly team meeting yesterday and as I was driving up to Amy’s house, I noticed some of the trees here are starting to turn. They are still mostly green with just a touch of yellow, orange and red. Fall will be here before we know it.

Today’s card is one that we made at our meeting yesterday. This card was designed and presented by one of my team members Akiko Sudano. It’s such a pretty card and one that can be duplicated easily. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin’ Up! Trucking Along for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday afternoon stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. I hope you all had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend. I’ll be working tomorrow, but I do have off on Sunday.

I’m a little late today with posting, it’s been a crazy week for me, and I didn’t get my card finished until a little while ago. This is one of those cards that I kept making mistakes and I was determined to finish the card properly. After I was all finished and loving how my card turned out, I realized the stamp set I used is no longer available in the Online Exclusive store in English. You can still purchase it in French if you just want to use the images. but you are able to make the truck part of the design using the Truck Builder Punch which is still available. I don’t usually post cards if items are not available, but with a little tweaking you can use this design for anything.  If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Trucking Along Joy Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Trucking Along Photopolymer Stamp Set, Stampin’ Up! Scenic Pumpkin Patch Photopolymer Stamp Set, Trucking Along Builder Punch, Iconic Celebrations 6 X 6 Designer Series Paper which are all Online Exclusive products. I also used the Spotlight On Nature Dies and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today.

I’m offering a Designer Series Paper share from the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog and I’d love to have you join!!  I’m placing my share order early on September 4th and I’m going to use the expedited shipping option so I should be able to have the shares cut, bundled and back out to you during the week of September 9. Wouldn’t you love to have all of the gorgeous new Designer Series Papers in the Stampin’ Up! September-December 2024 Mini Catalog?  What is a Paper Share you ask?

New Designer Series Paper Share – $21.00 plus $9.00 for Priority Mail Shipping

How my shares work:  I order full packs of all of the Designer Series Papers listed below, I cut them into 6″ X 6″ pieces (or 6″ X 12″ pieces for double shares) and give you one panel of each design from each pack on the list.  I pack up the paper in a cellophane bag with labels listing the NameItem # and Colors in the pack and mail it back out to you just as quickly as I can!

Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my fun fold Friday. I hope you are all getting ready for the weekend.

Today’s card is one that we made at our quarterly team meeting last Sunday. It was designed by Rosie Kean. Here’s my card for today.

Stampin' Up! Country Birdhouse Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Country Birdhouse Bundle along with the Country Woods Designer Series Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up! Country Birdhouse Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a small panel of Country Woods DSP to a Pecan Pie mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the bottom front of the Crumb Cake card base using Liquid Glue. I adhered the larger panel of Country Woods DSP to a Pecan Pie mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the inside of the Crumb Cake card base using Liquid Glue. Using the Country Birdhouse Dies, cut out the birdhouse by placing upper portion of roof die against the fold of 8 1/2 x 11 Basic White cardstock, “slipping” the cutting edge to the outside of the fold. You should have a “hinged” birdhouse once cut. From panels of Country Woods DSP cut the birdhouse, the roof and trim, birdhouse hole and flowerbox using the Country Birds Dies. Cut flowers and leaves from scraps of Boho Blue, Garden Green and Lemon Lolly using the Country Birdhouse Dies.

Stampin' Up! Country Birdhouse Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered the birdhouse pieces together using Liquid Glue and Glue Dots. I colored the center of the hole for the birdhouse using Basic Black Stampin’ Write Marker. I stamped the bird image from the Country Birdhouse stamp set on a panel of Basic White in Tuxedo Black Ink. I colored the image using Crumb Cake and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the image out using the Country Birdhouse Dies. I adhered the bird to the birdhouse using Glue Dots. I adhered the flowers using Glue Dots and Stampin’ Dimensionals. I tied a double bow using Linen Thread and adhered it using a Glue Dot. I added Iridescent Pearl Basic Jewels to the scalloped edge of the birdhouse. I added Rhinestones Basic Jewels to the flowers.

Stampin' Up! Country Birdhouse Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

For the inside of the birdhouse, I cut a panel of Country Woods DSP using the Country Birdhouse Dies. I stamped the sentiment from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the die cut birdhouse. I adhered the stamped panel to the inside of the small birdhouse card.

Stampin' Up! Country Birdhouse Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a couple of the flowers and leaf to the bottom of the inside panel of the birdhouse. On the inside of the card base, I stamped the sentiment from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on a panel of Country Woods DSP. I adhered the panel of DSP to a Pecan Pie mat then to the inside bottom of the Crumb Cake card base.

Stampin' Up! Country Birdhouse Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish m card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the bird image from the Country Birdhouse stamp set in Tuxedo Black Ink on the envelope front. I colored the image using Crumb Cake and Pool Party Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered a panel of Country Woods DSP to the envelope flap.

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:

  1. You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly!  OR….
  2. If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.

If you need any stamping supplies, I’d love to be your Demonstrator. Just click HERE to go directly to my online store or drop me an email if you have any questions. 

MY CURRENT HOST CODE IS:   T9JKA3XQ

Use this host code when placing an order with me. When you order $50 or greater you will receive a free gift from me! If your order is over $150, please do not use this code, but you’ll still get the free gift. The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog, the January-April 2024 Mini Catalog or from the Online Exclusives!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift. Shipping has become too expensive to ship and it’s costing me as much to ship as the cardstock costs. For any orders $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials.  Click HERE or go to my Customer Rewards for more details and to see what this month’s tutorials are.

Please remember to use my current Host Code and make sure that you can see my name on the final checkout page listed as your Demonstrator when you order so that you know that you’re ordering with me, and you’ll get my rewards! 

Happy Stamping, Karen

*********************************************************************************************************

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater.  And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!

But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:

  1. You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly!  OR….
  2. If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.

Stampin’ Up! Stars At Night for Fun Fold Friday

Good Friday morning stamping friends and welcome to my Fun Fold Friday. How was everyone’s week? Are you ready for the weekend? I hope you are starting to make some plans. I’ll be at work all day tomorrow. Don’t forget I still have my Double Creative Stamping Designs Rewards going on for my birthday week until Monday November 20th.

Today’s card I made on YouTube Live on Wednesday. If you were able to join me or watched the replay, thank you. If you’d like to watch my video and stamp along, the measurements are below, just above the supply list, along with the link to my YouTube channel. Here is my card for today.

Stampin' Up1 Stars At Night Fun Fold 1 creativestampingdesigns.com

I used the Stampin’ Up! Stars At Night Bundle along with the Stargazing Designer Series Paper, Holographic Specialty Paper and Online Exclusive Silver & Gold Adhesive-Backed Glimmer Paper for my card today.

Stampin' Up1 Stars At Night Fun Fold 2 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Stargazing DSP to a Basic White mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the back inside of the large card base using Liquid Glue. From panels of Holographic paper, Silver Glimmer paper and Basic White, I cut multiple stars, large and small using the Stars At Night Hybrid Embossing Folder and Dies.

Stampin' Up1 Stars At Night Fun Fold 3 creativestampingdesigns.com

I embossed a small panel of Starry Sky using the Stars At Night Hybrid Embossing Folder. I adhered the embossed panel to a Basic White mat using Liquid Glue. I adhered the layered panel to the large card base using Liquid Glue. I added a Holographic star to the center of the large, embossed star using Liquid Glue. I added a few of the Silver Glimmer stars to the panel. On the video I had added a larger star, but it was too large, so I switched it out.

Stampin' Up1 Stars At Night Fun Fold 4 creativestampingdesigns.com

I adhered a panel of Stargazing DSP to a Holographic mat using Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the layered panel to the front of the small Starry Sky card base using Liquid Glue. I layered the stars the way I wanted them using Glue Dots. I adhered the layered stars to the small card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals. On a panel of Basic White, I stamped the sentiment from the Stampin’ Up! Stars At Night Photopolymer Stamp Set in Versamark Ink. I sprinkled it with Silver Embossing Powder and set it using the Heat Tool. I cut the sentiment out using the Stars At Night Dies. I adhered the sentiment to the small card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.

Stampin' Up1 Stars At Night Fun Fold 5 creativestampingdesigns.com

On the inside of the small card base, I stamped the sentiment from the Stars At Night stamp set in Starry Sky Ink on a panel of Basic White. I stamped the large, dotted star image from the Stars At Night stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink, stamping off once on scrap paper, over the sentiment. I adhered the Basic Whtie panel to a Smoky Slate mat then to the inside of the small Starry Sky card base. I added a few of the tiny Silver Glimmer stars around the sentiment.

Stampin' Up1 Stars At Night Fun Fold 6 creativestampingdesigns.com

To finish my card, I decorated a Basic White Medium Envelope. I stamped the star images from the Stars At Night stamp set in Smoky Slate Ink on the envelope front. I adhered a panel of Stargazing DSP to the envelope flap.

The free gift is your choice of any 1 item valued up to $10.00 from the 2023-2024 Annual Catalog!  Unfortunately, packs of cardstock are no longer an option for a free gift. Shipping has become too expensive to ship and it’s costing me as much to ship as the cardstock costs. For any orders $50 or more I will also send you my monthly class tutorials.  Click HERE or go to my Customer Rewards for more details and to see what this month’s tutorials are.

Please remember to use my current Host Code and make sure that you can see my name on the final checkout page listed as your Demonstrator when you order so that you know that you’re ordering with me, and you’ll get my rewards! 

Happy Stamping, Karen

In response to changing policies at Stampin’ Up – I’m adjusting my Ordering Gift policy as well.  I’m having to get a little more tough on the adding of Host codes when you place your order thru my Online Store.

Not to worry – you’re still going to get that $10 ordering gift for orders of $50 (before shipping & tax) or greater.  And the gift is still any 1 SU! product up to that $10 value – which includes some of our fun Host Sets!

But – if you DO NOT use the Host code for your orders of less than $150 (this is the RETAIL total before Shipping & Handling), then you’ll have two options:

  1. You’ll need to call Stampin’ Up! (1-800-Stamp-Up) and ask them to add it for you. They’re very helpful and will get it done quickly!  OR….
  2. If your order was over the $50 threshold but under $150, then…you’ll forfeit that $10 ordering gift and rewards – this is the Bummer Option – and I REALLY don’t want to do this, SO please remember to add my Current Host Code.
